E3 2014 Impressions. Microsoft and the X-Bone...

Microsoft E3 2014 brief summary of what they showed off in
90 minutes

1.Stage=mediocre (basic seats closer to the main
stage but that could just be because of the venue). The light wrists on all the attendants was a good idea and worked well with some of the game presentations

2.Intro speech by Phil Spencer = It was a good speech and a good crowd pleaser

3.Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare= Don’t care, its
the same style of trailer from all the other E3 COD news, stand stock gameplay.
Took up to much of the conference considering what it was showing off

4.Dan Greenawalt (Forza Hrizon 2 and Forza 5)= New
Free DLC with the iconic racing track. Forza Horizon 2= Nice world, but seen
the concept before with the Need for Speed franchise (PS2). Interested to see
the definition of Open world freedom

5.Evolve= Team fortress 2 meets Left 4 dead meets
Alien. Looks nice but would have to see other reviews before considering
getting it as its a X-Box exclusive for now.

7.Dragon Age Inquisition: It looks interesting,
pretty and if I had a X-Box One (or if I planned to get one, I would pick it up
as it looks interesting).

8.Sunset
Overdrive: Same with Dragon Age Inquisition. Looks good and fun to play,
would pick it up if I was going to get the console. It was also a funny trailer
showing that there is still some humour left in the games on X-Box One.

9.Cheesy comical DLC trailer for Dead Rising 3 is
cheesy. The DLC looks good and if you like Dead Rising 3, I’d pick it up if I were
you.

10.Fantasia Music Evolved: (What is this madness, a
game for the 360 here?). The Concept sound like it could be clunky

11.Dance Central Spotlight: Already giving alarm
bells for me as its digital only (though that could just be my experiences with
bad Australian internet). Both Dance Central and Fantasia didn’t have a any
form of gameplay or a trailer so I’m a bit concerned.

12.David Eckelberry (Fable Legends): Expect a full
impression for this one latter

13.Project Spark: User Generated content: the game,
though it does look pretty and since its coming to PC, I might check it out.
Plus it has Conker in it...

14.Ori and the Blind Forest: (Try not to cry, cry
a lot...) beautiful orchestral piece in the background, gorgeous graphics and it
looks to be a platformer (from the small amount of time there was gameplay
shown). But its a X-Box One exclusive...

25.The developer videos that separated some of the games
were good. I wished there was more of them as I needed a break just so that I could
type these brief summaries.

They promised a lot of games, they delivered a lot of games.
The conference was good but it needed to be paced better. I don’t think
Crackdown should have been the finale for the conference considering what they
showed off prior to it and what they showed off of it to begin with. It was
good, if your a Microsoft fan then you should be excited for what’s to come. Up
next Sony (because I’m trying to play catch up and its starting in 20 minutes)
